Elections Notes

He criticised our Olympic Games preparations saying they were poorly planned. Hmmm, Thanks Mitt, our Olympics went fine. How was your election campaign? I see Obama has been given another four years. Had he been white he would have got parole. I woke up this morning to some great news from across the pond. My annoying neighbours have put their house up for sale. Over $3 Billion was spent on the U.S. political campaigns to tell the Americans how good each party is with money and debt. Last result just in, 'Romney Holds Mordor' Obama had an average of 20,000 supporters at every rally, Whereas Romney averaged 15,000, But as we know there was a good reason for that. Romney's supporters were at work. We all wondered 'Who will lead the world's most powerful nation for the next 4 years?' My bet is Xi Jinping.

Hmmm, Thanks Mitt, our Olympics went fine.They were poorly planned, and they went fine. (Only costed about 1723 times the initial budget).

Donald 'Bald as a coot' Trump. For all his billions he cannot stop his hair from falling out. What a crap hair cut. He would be better off shaving it bald and looking cool than that travesty. He could even afford a half decent wig or some implants. Still, if he wants to look like a prick that is up to him. He has a point though. You would think that having a vote where every vote counts would be more in the American tradition of democracy. An absolute majority in the popular vote would be fairer and mean that there would be fewer anomalies.

Would you be a bit jealous of his "dans le vent" haircut?

Nothing like 4 more years of socialism gets The Donald into such a state: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2229109/Election-2012-Donald-Trump-tweets-anger-following-disgusting-injustice-Obamas-election.html[^] He's frothing so badly in fact, that he can't even spell "won" correctly in his twatter rants. Today is a happy day.

Socialism (play /ˈsoʊʃəlɪzəm/) is an economic system characterised by social ownership of the means of production and co-operative management of the economy,[1] and a political philosophy advocating such a system. "Social ownership" may refer to cooperative enterprises, common ownership, state ownership, or citizen ownership of equity.[2]

An absolute majority for The Donald's sake would still mean Obama won. No doubt he'd moan about an absolute majority leaving people unrepresented and how the electoral college system safeguards against this. We're fine ones to talk about every vote counting anyway. The weighting of UK votes is a bit like this: Conservative: 1.8 Labour: 1.4 Lib Dem: 0.8 Anyone else: 0.0000005

There was a slight irony in my statement. I was just picking up on the American right's tendency to label Obama as a "degenerate atheist and socialist", despite the fact that his policies are closer to the Republican party of the 80s than today's GOP.

Still not bitter then? I see we're claiming the Olympics came in well under budget, although they did increase the budget a few times.

I've not been watching this coverage with much attention to detail (not that those providing the coverage have been doing so either), but as I understand it Barry O'Bama the Irish fella won and is POTUS for 4 more years. Romney lost and so is now President of Canada. Is that right?

I think his is the typical American view of democracy - it's fine so long as it returns the result you want! If, for example, a country freely elects a left wing government (se Chile etc) - let's undermine or invade the buggers until we get the result we want!

That's actually the first I've heard. The phrase "lack of interest" just doesn't cover it.

No problem. His temper and demeanour will simmer down when Obama has the tax office invite him to the boardroom.

That's the thing that really annoys me about politics these days (maybe it was ever thus). No-one is prepared to try and say why they are any good anymore, just why the other guy is bad. No-one says elect me, I will do a good job, it is elect me I'll be less shit than he will.

that's because about 50% of the people that vote are moochers. 40% are working their asses off to get ahead. 10% have enough money out of the country that it just doesn't matter any longer... heard at voting line in Atlanta, "I got's to vote to keep my check coming..." America is on it's way to a democracy, the thing most despised by the founding fathers.

Version 3.0 now available. There is no place like 127.0.0.1Sorry, Mike. Have to disagree. The vast majority of trade China does is with us. Industries see the writing on the wall though, and as people are wont to do, they are minimizing their risk by building factories in China to service the Chinese market. Having said that, as we continue to decline, China will have to come up with another plan to feed 1.2 billion people.

Obviously in the UK I know nothing about anyone apart from Obama and Romney, but someone I follow on Twitter was pushing Gary Johnson a lot. I know nothing other than his name though. The only other thing I knew from twitter is that the porn stars I follow wanted Measure B to force mandatory condom wearing to get defeated, but it didn't.
